We build, fit, and deliver Custom Boat Trailers in Ocean City MD for anglers, charter captains, and recreational boaters who want better launching, safer highway manners, and long service life in salt conditions.
Every project starts with accurate measurements and a conversation about how you use your boat. We record keel profile, strake locations, chine-to-keel distance, overall beam, transom weight, and bow eye height. That data lets us set bunk geometry, winch post placement, and tongue length so loading is predictable at public ramps and private marinas. We also match axle count and rating to your real loaded weight, not a brochure estimate, which helps tires wear evenly and improves braking distance.
For powerboats that run offshore, we often specify sealed LED lighting, heat-shrunk connectors, and tinned copper wiring routed in protected channels. Hardware is stainless where service demands it, with galvanized or aluminum structures selected for the right balance of stiffness and corrosion resistance. If you trailer frequently on Route 50 or long coastal stretches, we can spec radial tires, balanced wheels, and marine-grade bearings with easy service ports to simplify midseason maintenance.
Customers who carry heavier center consoles or wide-beam catamarans frequently ask about Tandem Axle Trailers. We size torsion or leaf spring systems to the load, position axles for proper tongue weight, and tune bunk contact so the hull sits low and stable. Braking options include surge or electric over hydraulic with corrosion-resistant components. The result is a smooth ride, even when crosswinds and road crown try to unsettle the tow rig.
Rigging the deck for a quick launch is part of our process. We place the bow stop so the boat noses up without slamming, set the winch height for a straight pull, and align guide poles for easy centering on windy afternoons. For ramp angles that vary with tide cycles, we adjust the approach so you can float on and off without climbing onto slippery fenders or wrestling the bow with dock lines.
We also outfit trailers for specific fishing programs. Shallow draft skiffs often prefer full-length bunks to spread the load, while deep-V hulls may benefit from keel support with side bunks to prevent rocking at speed. For cat hulls, we fabricate cradles that match the tunnel and sponsons so loading is repeatable and scratch free. If your program includes overnight hauls, we can add spare tire carriers, locking storage for straps, and integrated ladder steps for safe access at the ramp.
Long-term ownership matters to us. We recommend routine torque checks, brake flushes after salt exposure, and fresh water rinses for hubs and couplers. Our shop provides annual service packages that cover bearings, brakes, lighting, and fastener inspection. If you change boats in the future, we can refit your trailer with updated bunks or a resized winch stand to match the new hull, which protects your investment.
Many clients ask about finishes. Aluminum frames keep weight down and resist corrosion, while hot-dipped galvanized steel provides robust stiffness for larger vessels. We coat exposed cuts and hardware seats, seal wiring pass-throughs, and apply non-slip on steps and fenders where you stand during loading. Those small details add up to a trailer that feels easy to use week after week.
If you operate out of the Ocean City inlet, nearby bays, or neighboring marinas, our team can measure on site, coordinate with your storage yard, and deliver a trailer that fits your boat on the first try. Tell us about your hull, tow vehicle, and typical route, and we will propose a configuration that tows straight, launches cleanly, and handles the coastal environment.
